A Most Delicious Baked Apple Dessert!

With a big nod to my friend Julie Fenn, who brought these to a potluck recently!

Really super simple, too...tart apples are best, I think. I'd love to have found Jonathans, but Braeburns were good too.

Core your apples and enlarge the holes somewhat so you have room for stuffing them...

Mix raisins with cinnamon (and any other spice that suits your fancy) and stuff the holes in the apples.

Add a drizzle of maple syrup or honey or a tsp. of brown or raw sugar--you can substitute Xylitol or Splenda if you MUST, but it won't be quite the same...

Top with a spoonful of butter--the real thing. We use Kerrygold unsalted butter from Ireland, it's delicious and they treat their cows much better, without hormones, etc.

I used a pinch of Joseph's pumpkin pie spice on top of the butter, then baked at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes, more or less. (Test for doneness by poking with a knife or fork, they should be soft.)

Let cool a bit and top with cream if you wish...spoon any juices from the pan over the apples, it's luscious. I don't miss crust or pastry in the least!

The Starving Artists have their own blog!

We started doing Starving Artists in the Kitchen on my original blog, The Quicksilver Workaholic, in the fall of 2008--and it was time to break out! So here we are, new blog, new recipes, and we hope, even more new friends.

We've moved away from the Standard American Diet, which seems to have made more people less healthy rather than MORE, and it's been good for both of us. We're pretty close to Primal Blueprint/Paleo and not only lost weight but lost a bunch of health problems along the way, so our recipes reflect that.

NOTE/Disclaimer:

We don't attempt to make any claims for the Primal/Paleo diet beyond passing along our personal experiences and recent research, along with our recipes. We don't give medical advice or attempt to diagnose or treat any form of illness.

Contributors or any other persons in any way connected to this blog shall have no liability, responsibility, or commitment to any persons reading or trying the recipes included here. We just want to share good food and good times!

(Sorry, just seemed prudent to pass that along, as several other blogs and books have!)
